Nazokat Isaeva, Network Project Officer

Cooperation and partnership are keys to building a sustainable world and future. In Tajikistan, Oxfam is recognised for building effective partnerships with a range of national and international stakeholders, from village CBOs and women producer groups to international agencies and Governmental bodies. In my role of Tajikistan Water Supply and Sanitation (TajWSS) Officer I am proud to be able to contribute to successful establishing and facilitating communication and cooperation among various stakeholders in the drinking water sector!

Rising global food prices and an increasingly unpredictable climate have affected women like single parent Haider Rose Sadulbaq (pictured) especially badly. Oxfam's work includes helping people make a living from agriculture and working with rural communities so that they are better prepared for natural disasters. We also lobby internationally to fix the global food system as part of our GROW campaign.

The impact of our work

With the civil war and two subsequent years of drought, Sojidamo had to make big changes. With the support of Oxfam she is back on her feet and has become a successful business woman.

When circumstances changed, my husband and I were thinking 'what can we do'? We have decided to work harder in order to make our life better and give our children an education. We started our own business with the support of Oxfam. We work hard and I have started to establish my own farm, I now have 7.5 hectares of land.
